There’s no level of skill attained
where you’re “good enough” and
should stop practising. So be
innovative and push yourself to try
something new. This industry is so

will only heighten. Your portfolio

be called “finished”. Instead, it
needs to continue to grow.

A portfolio featuring lots of works-in-progress might
indicate to recruiters that you can’t finish a project
within a given timeframe. Make a point of revisiting
your unfinished artwork and completing it, to show
what you’re fully capable of producing. If you’re
having trouble finishing work then try to set yourself
some deadlines. Painting to a specific timeframe is
key to becoming successful at professional level.
